I was just wondering what kind of jobs do you employ people for in serbia? i am looking for remote job and i am from Macedonia
Given what you've posted on other threads seems like you would be beyond my miserly pay grades. I am paying $5/hour with occasional bonus for "advanced" data entry/proofreading. Currently I am not looking for anyone else, I don't really have time to deal with most of the work the current two are doing. And that's why I need the "service office", though I am thinking of Russia, which probably isn't the best option, but women...
But as far as I'm aware $5/hour is pretty good in Serbia, where I believe the average salary is more like $2.50/hour.

... Serbia for years and have found it a very good country to deal with
To clarify on this point. I should have said "Serbian people" and not "Serbia". I've always paid by the hour and have no idea whether they are telling me their actual hours, but I have no doubts that they are giving me the correct hours. Serbs seem to be more likely to have a desire to be honorable. I've dealt with people from countries all over the world online and the only place I've had no problems is Serbia; everywhere else I've had problems, most notably India. In the country quite a few times I've had people make a big thing of giving me my money back when I've accidentally given them too much money. One I always paid two months ahead to which she always protested, "He is being bad!" A Slovenian guy told me they have a saying on Serbs, something like: Serbs will welcome you into your home and give you everything, so tomorrow they have nothing. Obviously they have a higher number of bad apples, but in general the people are agreeable and honest.
Also with the high unemployment rate and (I am told crony job offerings) there are quite a lot of people who have high IQs who are out of work. One I have now speaks seven languages at conversational or fluent level; the other's daughter has been tested as 116 and I would guess the mother is about the same. In the US that should really be $60,000+/year pay grade.
And for me that's a big attraction for EE. There are plenty of people who are smart, can speak ~fluent English but have few prospects. I don't know why anyone would want to setup any business in Londonistan or anywhere in Western Europe. I see EE as a huge opportunity, mainly to sell back to The West with much lower overheads.
The way I see it, a lot of the best opportunities are where there are the fewest competitors. Every millennial is cramming themselves into London, Paris, NYC, LA. The reality is that there is nothing for 95% of people in those places but negative net worth and leaving the gene pool. There's 200 people chasing every home, apartment, mid-level job, resource. If you're running a business you can do pretty much exactly the same thing in a small city in EE without the high overheads.
One thing I would love to be able to do is setup a business in EE, in a small city or even a big village and have this business make that town and put in on the international map. In the making of The West (of the US), men went out into the wilderness, into inhospitable landscapes, flanked by savages, disease, criminality, drought - hardship and made global cities out of the blood and dirt. This doesn't happen anymore. Most people are on the conveyor belt to a global city, thinking they can make it with the world's highest overheads and degenerate cultures. But the best that will happen to most of them is they will live out of an RV and travel to their job at

My current company is in Estonia, so nothing "offshore" yet
How does that play with taxes? As I remember it Estonia is 0% corporate tax. But I don't know what the other aspects they have.
